SUBJECT: ACQUISITION PROPERTY AT 9300 STEWART & GRAY ROAD
AND PORTION OF 11921 -12007 WOODRUFF AVENUE FOR
CONSOLIDATED CITY CORPORATE YARD
That the City Council:
1) Approve entering into a purchase and sale agreement with INCO Properties, a
Washington Limited Liability Company for the purchase of Real Property at 9300
Stewart & Gray Road and a portion of 11921 -12007 Woodruff Avenue in an
amount of $4,155,000.
2) Approve an agreement with Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc., to assume
payment of rents and related rental charges for leased property from the date
that FFE vacates the leased premises until the date of the close of escrow with
property owner in exchange for FFE waiving any right for costs to relocate its
business operations.
3) Appropriate $2,300,000 from the Water Fund for property acquisition and related
cost.
The City long term facility's plan includes the consolidation of its existing maintenance
facilities to improve the efficiency of its maintenance operations as well as to
accommodate a future water treatment plant. On July 26, 2005, the City Council
authorized staff to finalize negotiations for property acquisitions that are deemed
necessary to facilitate the consolidation and expansion. As part of this effort, the City
has acquired property to the east of its facilities at 9252 Stewart & Gray Road consisting
of two parcels, one located at 11911 Woodruff Avenue and a second consisting of an
abandoned railroad right of way. A third parcel located immediately east of and
adjacent to the City's maintenance facility provides a critical connection to the two
parcels previously acquired and serve as an anchor component of the future yard. The
relation of the proposed acquisition with respect to existing City owned property is
illustrated in Figure 1.
The City has been negotiating the purchase of the third necessary property adjacent to
and immediately east of 9252 Stewart & Gray Road. This property consists of a stand
alone parcel used as a truck storage area fronting Stewart & Gray Road (9300 Stewart
& Gray Road) and a portion of a larger property that is occupied by a cold storage
CITY OF DOWNEY, CALIFORNIA
building. The two pieces of property are owned by INCO Properties and leased to
Frozen Food Express Industries.
A parking study of the entire site has been completed. The existing on -site parking for
the twenty area site is more than adequate to meet the current uses on the site. The
site currently has 322 parking spaces versus 355 required; however, actual parking
utilization is approximately 36 %. After the City acquires the cold storage building, the
remaining site will be restriped to provide 318 required parking spaces.
The City has negotiated a purchase price of $4,155,000 for the INCO property. The
negotiated price includes payment for the storage area at 9300 Stewart & Gray Road
and for a portion of the twenty acre parcel 11921 -12007 Woodruff Avenue containing
the cold storage building and includes a ten foot easement for maintenance purposes to
be retained by the seller along the easterly property line of the parcel to be split from a
larger property consisting of approximately 20 acres as well as a similar easement to be
provided by the Seller to the City along the southerly property line of the new parcel
created by the City's purchase. As part of the purchase the City will agree to:
• Process a lot line adjustment to sever the portion of property occupied by the
cold storage building from the larger parcel at 11921 -12007 Woodruff Avenue.
• The City will be responsible for the relocation of any utilities that will be impacted
by the City as a result of its demolition and construction activities.
• The City and INCO will provide maintenance agreements along a section ten feet
in width across their respective common boundaries for future maintenance of
their building.
• INCO will provide the City with a license to occupy the easement area during the
construction of its building.
• INCO will have a right of first refusal to purchase the property should the City find
at some future date that it does not need the property.
Frozen Foods Express Industries (FFE), the current lessee, has requested the City
assume any lease obligations FFE owes for the period of time between FFE's vacating
of the leased premises and the close of escrow with INCO Properties. This is
necessary as FFE has a lease extending through November 2011. FFE plans to
relocate at its own expense and requests that its lease obligations be terminated as of
November 30, 2010. The estimated cost of this lease obligation assumption is
approximately $20,000.
Upon the execution of the sales and purchase agreement the City and Seller will open
escrow with Chicago Title Company. The City will deposit $175,000 towards the
purchase price upon the opening of escrow which is refundable if the purchase of the
property is not executed. Escrow is to close on January 5, 2011, or upon such a date
mutually agreed to by the City and the Seller. The escrow period will afford the City
time to review the condition of the property and perform any investigations it deems
necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost including the purchase price and related fees is $4,300,000. Two
million dollars are available in the current budget for the property acquisition and
$2,300,000 will need to be appropriated from the Water Fund.

writing, of its intention, or the intention of its agents or representatives, to enter the
Property at least forty -eight (48) hours prior to such intended entry and obtain Seller's
prior written consent to any inspections, studies and tests to be conducted (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). At Seller's option, Seller may be present
for any inspection, test or study. Buyer shall bear the cost of all inspections, tests and
studies. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in no event
shall Buyer make any invasive physical testing (environmental, structural or otherwise)
at the Property, such as soil borings, water samples and the like, without Seller's prior
written consent. In the event City desires to conduct any physical testing
(environmental, structural or otherwise), City will identify in writing exactly what
procedures City desires to perform and request Seller's express written consent. Seller
may withhold or condition consent to any invasive physical testing in Seller's sole and
absolute discretion. However, if Seller withholds consent to Buyer's request to conduct
necessary physical testing, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement.
In conducting any investigations, inspections, tests and studies of the Property,
Buyer and its agents and representative shall (i) comply with all terms of all tenant

concerning the Property to anyone outside Buyer's organization, and (ix) comply with

violate any permit, license, or environmental law or regulation.
Any damage resulting from such testing or from any other due diligence activity
of Buyer shall be promptly repaired or caused to be repaired by Buyer at Buyer's sole
cost and expense. Buyer shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify Seller from all
liability, costs, damage and claims arising from any bodily injury, property damage or
mechanics' lien claims resulting from (i) entry and activities on the Property by Buyer, its
consultants, agents, employees and contractors or (ii) violation by Buyer of this
provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, the Buyer Covenants (as
defined below) and the obligations of Buyer under the License provisions set forth in
S &F00607312 v8 / 7643 -310 7
Section 18 below. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Buyer's obligations and indemnity set forth in this section shall survive the
closing or earlier termination of this Agreement and shall not be merged with the Grant
Deed or any other closing documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not
be liable to Seller, nor shall Buyer have any obligation to hold harmless, defend or
indemnify Seller from any liability, costs, damage or claims which are related to pre-
existing adverse conditions affecting the Property (except to the extent exacerbated by
Buyer). Seller acknowledges that Buyer self- insures with respect to claims for bodily
injury and property damage.
11. Prorations and Closing Costs. All unpaid, current, non - delinquent real
property taxes and assessments attributable to the Property shall be prorated as of the
Close of Escrow. Buyer shall credit Seller with all pre -paid real property taxes and
assessments attributable to the Property. Any real property taxes and assessments
arising out of the sale of the Property to Buyer or its assignee or a subsequent sale or
change in ownership thereafter, and /or arising out of any construction pertaining to the
Property following the closing, shall be paid by Buyer when assessed. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement, Seller shall not be charged for any such taxes or
assessments to the extent that Frozen Food Express is obligated to pay such amounts
pursuant to the Frozen Food Express Lease, in which case Buyer's sole source of
recovery with respect to such amounts shall be against Frozen Food Express.
Buyer discloses that as a public agency, Buyer is exempt from transfer taxes
arising from this transaction and real property taxes for the Property. Buyer shall pay
the fee of Escrow Holder, all costs of any survey, title report, commitment or policy
obtained by Buyer, any and all transfer taxes payable in connection with the
conveyance of the Property, the costs of Buyer's due diligence and the fees of Buyer's
attorney. Seller shall pay the fees of Seller's attorney. The following items shall be
prorated between Seller and Buyer at the Closing by increasing or decreasing, as the
case may be, the funds to be delivered by Buyer at the Closing, with all items pertaining
to the month of closing to be prorated based on the actual number of days in the month
in which the closing occurs:
All rents, reimbursements, income, revenue and other charges pertaining to the
Frozen Food Express Lease or otherwise with respect to the Property (collectively,
"Revenues ") actually collected by Seller on or prior to the Closing shall be prorated such
that Seller shall be entitled to all such Revenues accruing up to and including the day
prior to the Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to all such Revenues for the date of
Closing and all periods thereafter.
All costs and expenses with respect to the operation and maintenance of the
Property, including without limitation, under any contracts, utilities not billed directly to
Frozen Food Express, and all assessments, dues or other charges due under any
covenants, conditions and restriction against the Property, shall be prorated such that
Seller shall be responsible for all such costs and expenses to and including the day
prior to the Close of Escrow and Buyer shall be responsible for all such costs and
expenses for the date of Close of Escrow and all periods thereafter. Buyer shall take all
steps necessary to (a) effectuate the transfer of all utilities to its name or (b) terminate
all utilities, as of the Close of Escrow.
S &F00607312 v8 / 7643 -310 8
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not
be charged for any such amounts to the extent that Frozen Food Express is obligated to
pay such amounts pursuant to the Frozen Food Express Lease, in which case Buyer's
sole source of recovery with respect to such amounts shall be against Frozen Food
Express.
Within three (3) months following the Closing (or such earlier date after the
Closing when such figures are available), Seller and Buyer shall reprorate real and
personal property taxes and other items of income and expenses based upon actual
bills or invoices received after the Closing (if original prorations were based upon
estimates) and any other items necessary to effectuate the intent of the parties that all
income and expense items be prorated as provided above in this section. Any
reprorated items shall be promptly paid to the party entitled thereto. The proration
provisions of this Section 11 shall survive Closing for a period of one hundred eighty
(180) days.

Escrow, Seller shall, to the extent in its possession, provide to Buyer a true, accurate

of time remaining on such right.
D. Original executed Estoppel Certificates, in the form attached hereto and
made a part hereof as set forth in Exhibit "C," from each tenant having the right to
possess, occupy or use the Property; provided, however, that with respect to Frozen
Food Express, the Estoppel Certificate may be in the form required in the Frozen Food
Express Lease. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 12 to the contrary, Seller
shall have until the date which is fifteen (15) days before the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period to deliver the Estoppel Certificates.

14. Seller's Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The following
representations, warranties and covenants of Seller are true as of the date Seller
executes this Agreement and shall be true and correct as of the Close of Escrow. The
representations and warranties of Seller shall be deemed modified to reflect any facts or
circumstances subsequently set forth in writing to Buyer or in any third party report
which may have been provided to Buyer or which are otherwise known to Buyer prior to
the Close of Escrow. Buyer's rights with respect to the following representations,
warranties and covenants, as appropriate, shall survive the Close of Escrow for only a
period of 365 days. Such representations and warranties are based solely upon the
facts and circumstances actually known to Victor DiPietro, without any duty of inquiry.
S&F00607312 v8 / 7643 -310 9
In no event shall Mr. DiPietro have personal liability with respect to this Agreement or
the representations or warranties contained herein. If, prior to the Close of Escrow,
Buyer gains knowledge that a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this
Agreement is or becomes untrue and Buyer nonetheless proceeds to Close of Escrow,
then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any claims with respect to such untrue
representation or warranty.
14.01 Power and Authority of Seller. Seller is the sole owner of the Property and
has the requisite right, power and authority to sell, convey and transfer the Property to
Buyer, as provided herein, and to enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement
and the execution and delivery hereof and of all other instruments referred to herein.
The performance by Seller of Seller's obligations hereunder will not violate or constitute
an event of default under the terms and provisions of any agreement, document or
instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound. All proceedings
required to be taken by or on behalf of Seller to authorize it to make, deliver and
carryout the terms of this Agreement have been duly and properly taken. No further
consent of any person or entity is required in connection with the execution and delivery
of, or performance by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement.
14.02 Validity of Agreement. Upon execution, this Agreement is a valid and
binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.
14.03 Leases. Seller represents that the copies of all Leases, if any, delivered
by Seller to Buyer are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect,
that the Leases are the only leases affecting the Property, and that the tenants under
the Leases are the only tenants of the Property. There are no other agreements, written
or oral, with respect to the tenancies. There are no material defaults under any of the
Leases nor have events occurred that with notice or passage of time, or both, would
constitute a material event of default thereunder. Seller has not made any assignment,
transfer or other disposition of all or any part of its interest in any of the Leases.
14.04 Contracts. The copies of the Contracts, if any, delivered by Seller to
Buyer are true, complete and correct copies of all Contracts relating to the Property and;
provided that Buyer pays all termination fees, costs, penalty or other amounts
necessary to terminate any particular Contract prior to Closing, Seller will terminate
such Contract and such Contract will not survive the Close of Escrow. There are no
defaults thereunder and there exists no condition that, with the passage of time, the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default.
14.05 Use Permits: Compliance with Law. Within the twenty -four (24) months
preceding the date of this Agreement, Seller has not received written notice of any
violation of any licenses, approvals, permits and certificates necessary for the
occupancy of the Property which remain in effect.

from a portion of the Larger Project) and a "no further action" letter dated July 23, 2007
and issued by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works, Seller has not
provided Buyer with any environmental reports for the Property because it does not
have any knowledge of such reports (other than the URS Report and "no further action"
S &F00607312 v8 / 7643 -310
10
letter) in its possession. Seller has no current or actual knowledge of any Hazardous
Materials on or under the property in violation of applicable laws. To the current, actual
knowledge of Seller, there is no pending investigation, written request for information,
written notice of violation, written notice of responsibility, governmental or third -party
claim with respect to the Property under any Environmental Law, or any administrative
or judicial orders, decree or proceedings pending with respect to the Property under any
Environmental Law.
As used in this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply: "Environmental
Law(s)" shall mean all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
now or hereafter in force, as amended from time to time, in any way relating to or
regulating human health or safety, or environmental evaluations of public yard sites, or

described as toxic or hazardous, explosive, radioactive, or a pollutant or contaminant or
infectious waste, or words of similar import, in any of the Environmental Laws, and

liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel, or any mixture thereof),
polychlorinated byphenyls, urea formaldehyde, radon gas, radioactive matter, medical

14.07 Natural Hazards Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that neither Seller nor
anyone on behalf of Seller has made any representations, statements or warranties
regarding the location of the Property within any Natural Hazard Areas (as hereinafter
defined). Buyer specifically acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent Seller has
made or in the future makes any information regarding the Natural Hazard Disclosure
Statement available to Buyer, Seller has done and will be doing so only as an
accommodation to Buyer and that Seller has made, is making and shall make no
representation or warranty of any nature concerning the accuracy or completeness of
the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer
shall conduct its own investigations and studies of the Property as it deems necessary
or appropriate to determine whether or not the Property is located in any Natural Hazard
Area. Seller shall have absolutely no liability if the Property is located in any Natural
Hazard Area and Buyer assumes all risk relating thereto. As used herein, the term
"Natural Hazard Area' shall mean those areas identified as natural hazards in the
Natural Hazard Disclosure Act, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4
and 51183.5, and California Public Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694, and 4136,
and any successor statutes or laws (the "Act "). Before the Close of Escrow, Seller shall
provide Buyer with a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement ( "Disclosure Statement'').
Buyer acknowledges that the Disclosure Statement is being delivered pursuant to the
Act. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in the Disclosure
S&F00607312 v8 / 7643 -310
11
Statement shall release Buyer from its obligation to determine, whether the Property is
located in any Natural Hazard Area and that the matters set forth in the Disclosure
Statement may change on or prior to the Close of Escrow and that Seller has no
obligation to update, modify or supplement the Disclosure Statement. Only Buyer may
rely on the Disclosure Statement and Buyer shall not provide the Disclosure Statement
to any other party. In the event that, prior to the Close of Escrow, the Act is modified to
provide either that (a) disclosure of Natural Hazard Areas is not required in the transfer
of commercial property like the Property, or (b) a buyer of commercial property like
Buyer can waive the disclosure of Natural Hazard Areas under the Act, then Seller may
elect not to provide the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement to Buyer, and Buyer
hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives its right to disclosure of Natural
Hazard Areas found in the Act.
14.08. Litigation. To Seller's current, actual knowledge, there are no pending
actions, suit, arbitrations, claims or judicial, municipal or administrative proceedings, at
law or in equity, affecting all or any portion of the Property or in which Seller is a party
by reason of Seller's ownership of the Property.

sale of the Property, nor does any third party hold any rights of first refusal or options to
purchase the Property.

finder has been engaged by Seller in connection with the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement, or to Seller's knowledge are in any way connected with such

any all claims by any broker in connection with this transaction claiming by or through
Seller. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the Close of Escrow.

(b) the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall, in addition to the covenants set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement, do all of the following:
15.01 Maintenance of Property. Maintain the Property in accordance with
Seller's historical practices, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Frozen

any material change in the physical condition of the Property, or of any damage or
destruction to the Property actually known to Seller.

(the "Buyer Covenants ") and Buyer Covenants shall survive the Close of Escrow and
shall not be merged with the Grant Deed or any other Closing Documents. The
indemnity, defense and hold harmless obligations of Buyer pursuant to Section 10 of
this Agreement shall expressly apply, without limitation, to the Buyer Covenants. The
Buyer Covenant set forth in Section 16.5, shall be recorded against the Property at
Close of Escrow in the form set forth on Exhibit H attached hereto and incorporated
herein (the "Memorandum of Right of First Refusal ") and the Memorandum of Right
of First Refusal shall bind Buyer and its successors and assigns. The provisions of
Section 16.02 and 16.03 below shall be satisfied by Buyer in cooperation and
consultation with Seller and in a manner that most minimizes interference with the use,
occupancy or enjoyment of the Larger Project by any tenant thereof.
16.01 Parking. Buyer represents that the parking at the portion of the Larger
Project retained by Seller immediately following the Close of Escrow (the "Seller's
Remaining Property ") is sufficient and shall remain sufficient parking for the Seller's
Remaining Property even in the event that any or all improvements on Seller's
Remaining Property are rebuilt in whole or in part (and in substantially the same
manner) for substantially the same use following a casualty ( "Sufficient Parking ").
However, at any time either before or after the Close of Escrow, Seller may elect to
pursue (at Seller's sole cost and expense) a variance providing that the parking at the
Seller's Remaining Property is Sufficient Parking (the "Parking Variance "). If Seller
elects to pursue the Parking Variance, then Buyer shall cooperate (at Buyer's sole cost
and expense) with Seller in obtaining the Parking Variance. The provisions of this
Section 16.01 shall survive the Close of Escrow.
16.02 Utilities; Drainage. Following the Close of Escrow but prior to any

serving Seller's Remaining Property and the Property to be separately re- connected to
the applicable main line, (c) install a water meter selected by Seller in a location
designated by Seller for landscaping purposes on Seller's Remaining Property, (d)
install an electrical meter selected by Seller in a location designated by Seller for the
two lights on Seller's Remaining Property and relocate one of those lights (and install a

13
breaker box for selected by Seller for such light) to a location on Seller's Remaining
Property designated by Seller, and (e) cause electricity to be connected to the garage
on Seller's Remaining Property. The obligations of Buyer under this Section 16.02 shall

Property following the Close of Escrow. Adjacent to the east of the Property is situated

all times during any demolition or construction work at the Property, Buyer shall provide
subjacent and other support to the Adjacent Building as necessary to prevent damage
and, following the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall erect and maintain a security fence
around the Property which blocks the view of the Property from Seller's Remaining
Property. Promptly following both the demolition and the construction work, Buyer shall
paint the exterior side of the Adjacent Building which faces the Property with paint
satisfactory to Seller. If at any time during, or as a result of, the demolition work or the
construction work, the Adjacent Building is damaged or destroyed, such damage or
destruction shall be presumed to have been caused by Buyer's activities and Buyer
shall repair or restore, as appropriate, such damage or destruction. The foregoing
presumption is rebuttable by Buyer. Prior to the Close of Escrow Seller and Buyer shall
conduct a joint walk- through of the Adjacent Building to determine the condition thereof
and may memorialize such condition by taking photographs. Promptly following (but in
no event more than 10 business days of the Close of Escrow), Buyer shall construct a
temporary screened fence along the southern boundary line of the Property and the
Seller's Remaining Property. Upon the Cornmencement Date of the License (as
provided for in Section 18), Buyer shall move the temporary fence to correspond to the
southern boundary line of the License Area running to the concrete block wall denoted
on the Site Map at the eastern boundary line of the Property. Upon the expiration of the
License, if the building constructed by Buyer on the Property does not extend all the
way to said block wall, then Buyer shall construct and maintain (on its own property) a
permanent screened fence, block wall or similar visually screened blockade along the
southern boundary line between the Property and the Seller's Remaining Property. The
provisions of this Section 16.03 shall survive the Close of Escrow.

respectively.

the original Lease term in November 2011 or to cause FFE's displacement from the
premises. FFE desires to terminate the Lease before its expiration in November 2011

inclusive of payment of rent and other leasehold costs, regarding the Premises and the
Lease. City will agree to waive its right to collect rent and other leasehold costs from
FFE for the remaining term of the Lease in exchange for FFE agreeing to waive any and
all claims it may have against City for any costs to relocate its existing business
operations and/or fixtures, equipment and furniture.
The Agreement between the parties hereto is an indemnity/hold harmless
agreement wherein the City has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless FFE from, and

and the like, arising out of contract and/or tort, which may be incurred from November
30, 2010 or the date that FFE completely vacates the premises, whichever is later,
forward with respect to the Premises and the Lease. The City has, through its counsel,
analyzed the Lease and agrees that, in the event of a dispute, the City will not raise any
issues, defenses or arguments regarding the lack of consent by the Lessor/Landlord in
order to invalidate or otherwise dispense of this Agreement.
FEE, likewise will indemnify and hold harmless the City from, and regard to, any
and all liabilities, claims, damages, suits, and the like, arising out of contract and/or tort,
